Welcome To The Inspiration Mining HUB On AGORACOM

The company is exploring for nickel deposits on its Langmuir property near Timmins, Ontario; for nickel-gold-copper on its Cleaver and Douglas properties; and for molybdenum and rare earth elements at recently acquired Desrosiers property.

So this technical report was completed and dated Sept 1st

The resource calc is coming, we know from earlier info that the Met study is also complete. Yet at time of wrting of the 43-101 it was not.

How's everybody making out on the 228 page reading assignment today??

"Re-assaying of 3764 samples from the nickel bearing zones of the Langmuir No.1 Mine
indicated the following ranges: Au ranges from 0.002 to 2.210 g/t (65.4% of the samples); Pt ranges from 0.005 to 5.250 g/t (89.1% of the samples); Pd ranges from 0.005 to 5.560 g/t (88.9% of the samples); and Cu ranges from 0.001 to 4.080% (92.7% of the samples). The remaining samples were below the detection limits.

Re-assaying of 5,225 samples from the nickel bearing zones of the North Zone indicated the following ranges: Au ranges from 0.002 to 3.010 g/t (58.5% of the samples); Pt ranges from 0.005 to 0.982 g/t (66.7% of the samples); Pd ranges from 0.005 to 1.770 g/t (68.2% of the samples); and Cu ranges from 0.001 to 0.950% (78.3% of the samples). The remaining samples were below the detection limits.

Geotech’s interpretation stated the following:
“EM anomaly picking was performed over the entire area. The main objective was to identify the conductive bedrock anomalies and, where possible, distinguish them from culturally generated artifacts, which occur in the area.
Time constant map characterize various conductors based on the rate of the exponential EM decay curve. High Tau values are consistent with thicker or higher conductivity targets, which might be of interest for exploration follow-up.
It is clear from both images that there is a strong correlation between the Magnetic intensity and EM anomalies. This is consistent with nickeliferous, pyrrhotite rich mineralization. There are also a number of trending magnetic features that seem to run through and beyond the known zones of interest, that might be related to unmineralized mafic to ultramafic units or intrusives.”

18.0 MINERAL PROCESSING AND METALLURGICAL TESTING

SGS Mineral Services of Lakefield, Ontario is currently working on the metallurgical analysis of the nickel mineralization zones encountered at the Langmuir No. 2 – North Zone for Inspiration.
At the time of writing the report, the author is not in possession of the final metallurgical report for the North Zone.
During the summer of 2009, exploration personnel commenced with the collection of ¼ split diamond drill core from the Langmuir No.1 Mine for metallurgical testing at SGS Mineral Services of Lakefield.
Inspiration Mining Corporation has carried out no mineral processing on samples from the Langmuir Property.
19.0 MINERAL RESOURCE AND MINERAL RESERVE ESTIMATES

Micon International Ltd. of Toronto, Ontario has been engaged to complete a 43-101 compliant Resource Estimate Report for both the Langmuir No. 1 Mine and Langmuir No. 2 – North Zone and will utilize the current diamond drilling results and the results of the re-assaying.
At the time of writing the report, the author is not in possession of the final resource estimation report for the Langmuir Property.

A detailed re-assaying program has been completed on the nickel mineralization occurring at the North Zone and the Langmuir No.1 Mine for copper and PGE. The highest values at the North Zone are 0.95% Cu, 4.71% Ni, 3.010 g/t Au, 1.770 g/t Pd and 0.982 g/t Pt. The highest values at the Langmuir No.1 Mine are 4.89% Cu, 16.60% Ni, 2.21 g/t Au, 5.25 g/t Pd and 5.60 g/t Pt.

The 2005 to 2009 diamond drilling programs conducted by Inspiration were successful in
defining the nickel mineralization at the Langmuir No.2 Mine – North Zone, at the Langmuir No.1 Mine, confirmation of nickel mineralization below the South Zone at Langmuir No. 2 Mine, and the evaluation of numerous geochemical and geophysical survey exploration targets.
The diamond drilling at the Langmuir No.2 Mine – North Zone has indicated a long and broad nickel bearing mineralization zone, which contains possibly 3 distinct komatiitic extrusive flows in a paleo-topographic depression with the higher-grade mineralization generally located in the basal flow but is also located in the middle and upper flows. The majority of the drilling was concentrated to a depth of 180 metres below surface on approximately 25 metre centers. The deepest intersection was at a vertical depth of 500 m below surface. The southern portion of the zone trends 100 metres northerly with true widths of approximately 20 metres. The central and northern portion of the zone trends north-northeast for approximately 320 metres with true widths ranging from 35 metres to greater than 60 metres. The North Zone contains two higher grade shoots that dip steeply to the southeast at 75o and plunges approximately 70 southsouthwest.
The North Zone remains open to the north-northeast and at depth.
The diamond drilling at the Langmuir No.1 Mine has indicated and confirmed historical drilling results of high-grade nickel mineralization in the East Zone. Due to the underground development and locations of the mined stopes, the Centre and West Zones have not been intersected in these drilling programs. The East Zone is located in the basal talcose ultramafic komatiites in contact with the underlying intermediate to mafic metavolcanics. A high-grade nickel bearing massive sulphide zone within the intermediate to mafic metavolcanics has been intersected in several of Inspiration’s drill holes. Historically, the East Zone was approximately 400 feet long but with limited sampling indicated narrow widths. Inspiration’s drilling has been concentrated in the northern portion and down plunge of the East Zone below the 315-foot mine level to a vertical depth of approximately 440 metres (1445 feet) below surface. The currently a
broad halo zone of greater than 0.20% Ni ranges up to 46m true width with several higher-grade intersections greater than 1.0% Ni ranging from 10 to 31 metres in true width.
The exploration diamond drilling has located several areas of wide low-grade nickel
mineralization located on the Allerston grid and the Langmuir No.1 Mine grid. An area north of the current Langmuir No.1 Mine has indicated the potential of an additional Kambalda style komatiitic metavolcanics flow."
